Background Art A small switchgear with an auxiliary switch has a group of main terminals arranged in two rows, a mounting base plate for a support plate,
a body consisting of a movable electromagnetic part and a fixed surface cooperating with the mounting means of the box of the auxiliary switch;
A small switching device comprising a slider, fixed contacts connected to a group of auxiliary terminals on the slider, a cooperating movable contact bridge, and an auxiliary switch on which coupling means cooperating with these movable parts are mounted.

Devices of this kind are currently known in various configurations, in which the connection to the switching device takes place either on the front side of the switching device or on the carrying side. If the auxiliary switch is attached to the front of the switchgear, the thickness corresponding to the lamination will be large, so it cannot be connected inside a box such as a box used for household appliances. This is because once these dimensions are installed, they are not allowed to exceed the standard dimensions.

Furthermore, if the auxiliary switch is attached to a side surface perpendicular to the connection terminal row, the two switching devices cannot be regularly arranged side by side. This is because a gap corresponding to the width of the switch separates two adjacent switching devices.

Although it may be easier to place the auxiliary switch on a surface other than the front or side, this method has several problems and disadvantages. For example, if the switchgear is small, the volume occupied by the switchgear's connection terminals depends directly on the number of terminals, the required insulation conditions, or the minimum value that allows the specified current to flow without heat generation on the connection surface. Therefore, it becomes impossible to reduce the value below a certain value. As a result, the other free surface of the switchgear is subject to significant restrictions due to the presence of the connection terminal. On the other hand,
If the degree of freedom of the switchgear is small, it is not appropriate to provide a fixed area on this free surface where the auxiliary switches are concentrated. Finally, no switch device has been found in which the connecting terminal row related to the auxiliary switch is arranged behind the connecting terminal row of the main contacts of the switching device. This is because the conductor wires leading to the main contact terminals were considered to be an impediment to the placement, connection, and fixing of the auxiliary switch.
